What I suggested is that you could upload to Jenkins a ZIP of plugins and then that zip could be used as a source of plugins to install. The plugin dependencies could be resolved correctly using the optional "bundled" plugins mechanism I wrote or Jenkins could index the bundle and build local update centre metadata to feed the update centre ui. You could even let people dump a bunch of bundle zips into a directory and scan those to build up an update centre source. Then we (community or 3rd parties) just have a service that creates the bundles for you and attaches a signature so that integrity can be verified. That means that somebody in a restricted environment has two and only two downloads: Jenkins core and the plugin bundle. > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Jenkins Developers" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected] <javascript:;>. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/jenkinsci-dev/CANfRfr3GYQY-hxu6t_4fxumZ9MF2HgNA-C%3DGECW3Y%3D054NS_pQ%40mail.gmail.com > . > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > -- Sent from my phone -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Developers" group.
